Turbo Ace MATRIX
64
(3)
Disconnect the battery plug from the MATRIX when you are done flying. Do not
leave your battery plugged into the MATRIX after a flight.
(4)
An inexpensive battery meter with an alarm would be a smart tool to have.
Always check each battery’s charge before each flight. A fully charged battery
should be around 4.1V to 4.2V per cell (Multiply that by 6 for a 6 cells battery).
(5)
A transmitter battery is a lot more reliable and convenient than 8 “AA” batteries
for your transmitter. With a larger capacity, longer lifespan and the desired
voltage, the transmitter battery is also rechargeable using the same battery
charger as the helicopter battery.
5.6 Flight Time
Voltage warning settings for your MATRIX have been programmed
conservatively to protect your batteries. To obtain longer flight times, on-board
voltage must be observed during flight by using the telemetry function in your
radio. Monitoring your batteries for maximum drain will greatly improve flight
time but it requires knowledge of Li-Po battery power management. The rule of
thumb is that the total operating voltage on the MATRIX cannot be drained to less
than 21.0v total (3.5V per cell) during flight. After you have landed the MATRIX,
the voltage reading will increase since no load is applied. The total no load voltage
shall not be drained to less than 22.02v total (3.67V per cell) otherwise the battery
may get damaged. Over drained batteries are not returnable, so caution must be
used while operating Li-Po powered aircraft. Default setting for the NAZA
